Compaq And Intel Chip Deal

thoes dumbasses they only got the 64bit chip up to 800mhz anyways..

Wow, looks like this could make Intel the king again.

The DARKSIDE growing stronger as we speak. I always cheered for the badguys anyways :)

I guess compaq's been sitting on alpha for so long that the tech isn't as cutting edge as it used to be - for at least a few generations they were WAY ahead of x86 and motorola processors in mhz and floating point performance.

It's too bad that they have been left to stagnate at compaq, and now intel will just cannibalize whatever tech is left worth taking and then leave alpha to die.

Sucks to see what was a superior chip lose out due to market forces.

[Inside, Billy, who has taken off his jacket since returning from the
snow, hurries towards Alpha, who is at one of the control panels.]

Billy : Alpha, what's going on? Are you all right?
Alpha : Ai-yi-yi, Billy! My circuits are really stressing. Something
out there is causing this heat-wave, I know it, but every
time I get it on the tracking system, I lose it!
Zordon : You must keep trying, Alpha. We have to find the culprit.
Billy : [thoughtfully] Is there any way to increase the capacity on
the central tracking unit?
Alpha : Not without overloading the system. The heat outside is
starting to wear down the heat-shields. We're down 20%
already. We'll lose everything if this continues!
Billy : Well, why don't we try to narrow the focus width? It'll see a
smaller area, but we can increase the power to that area and
lock on to the image.
Alpha : Great idea! Billy, you're a genius.

[Billy pats Alpha on the back as the small robot starts working the
control panel. He then turns to study the Viewing Globe. Judging by
his expression and tone, the displayed image is not a pleasant one.]



Billy : Alpha, you better contact the others.
Alpha : Right, Billy. I'll send for them immediately! [pushes keypad]

From Digital to Compaq to Intel.

What a long strange trip it's been for Alpha.

wow
